You can basically ride your e-muli st or px like conventional bicycle. When the
motor is switched on, the stronger you pedal, the more the motor supports you
with its torque.
Start your riding attempts in the „Eco“ support level to get used to the drive sys-
tem. Practice driving the e-muli in an are with little trac. Practice dierent dri-
ving situations, such as starting and braking, tight cornering, stop-and-go driving,
driving at high speed and driving on loose surfaces. In these riding situations, an
e-muli diers greatly from the muli muscle or other non-motorized bicycle.
Also consider the greater width of the e-muli when the basket is unfolded. When
unfolded, the basket has width of about 60cm, providing much larger catching
points than conventional bicycle. When riding the e-muli, it is therefore very
important that you keep good eye on the lane width and always maintain safe
distance from the edge of the road or lane, especially on divided bike/pedestri-
an paths. Special care must also be taken when driving into driveways, through
passages or other obstacles or roadway narrowings so that the wide load basket
does not collide with them. It may be necessary to stop the ride, dismount and
push the e-muli around an obstacle.
Keep in mind that the driving and braking behavior changes depending on the
load. A high load increases the braking distance and makes short-term steering
and driving maneuvers more dicult. Therefore, be particularly careful when
driving with heavy load. The braking distance is also longer when driving on
sloping roads.
Driving characteristics
Avoid shifting gears under high load on the pedals. Therefore,
take pressure o the pedals before shifting, otherwise the
rear derailleur may be damage to the rear derailleur.
Always consider the increased width of your e-muli when
the basket is folded out. The unfolded basket forms enlarged
catch points. Always drive with sucient lateral distance to
people and obstacles, otherwise you risk serious accidents.
Keep in mind: Heavy loads and driving on sloping and wet
sloping and wet roads will aect the handling and braking
performance of your e-muli. Heavy loads, wet and/or sloping
roads increase the braking distance.
